Like Quentin Tarantino, Snyder is unapologetic about his influences -- the trashier the better -- though he's far less skilled in the art of pastiche.
Full reviewUber stylish sci-fi actioner, described as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns". This is the latest visual feast from director Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300).
About a girl (Emily Browning) who is institutionalised by her wicked stepfather. Retreating to an alternative reality as a coping strategy, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and envisions a plan to help her escape the facility. Also stars Vanessa Hudgens and Abbie Cornish.

Full reviewCertain to create a gaping divide between generational and aesthetic camps, Sucker Punch is a largely grim and unpleasant display of technical wizardry wrapped around a story that purports to be inspirational.
Full reviewAmbitious and visually impressive as a pop-video mash-up, but, lacking a strong emotional core, it doesn't quite cohere as a fully satisfying movie.
Full reviewIt's a hazard of this job that I get to sit through trailers and previews for months before any film has actually opened, and since February this one has been assaulting my eyeballs with ever more delirious promises.
